Ash have been teasing us for months now about their ambitious A-Z singles project but now we can finally see 'A' for ourselves. 'True Love 1980' will kick off the year long collection and, true to its title, it's a wonderful slice of 80's style pop. Starting things off with a cracking keyboard line it takes Ash stylistically back to their 'Free All Angels' sound; a kind of mellower 'Shining Light' or 'There's A Star'. It's the kind of song that you can see being played at the Prom in some cheesy 80's high school film (in a good way). It's a great way to start the project and, even if you find yourself hating it, you've only got two weeks to wait until the next one!
If you want to find out more about the singles project you can check out my interview with Tim and Mark here, when I caught up with them at this summer's Hop Farm Festival.
